There are lots of small eateries of the storefront variety all over town, and you can get decent, basic travelers' fare (fried noodles, rice, and faux-Western food) for next to nothing. Nazim Restaurant, on the main drag (tel. 023/511-214), serves the same good, affordable Indian cuisine as in its other locations in Laos. Xayoh Café, at the main intersection in town (tel. 023/511-403), serves reliable burgers and basics. For Lao fare, try Nokeo, across from the old market (tel. 020/2411203), or Phay Kam, on the west side of the old airstrip (tel. 023/511-095), a locals' favorite.
